Structure of Marico

A Flat Structure :

Marico has a flat organisational structure, with just five levels between the Managing
Director
and the shop floor operator.

At Marico, everyone is a member and not an employee. As a member, each individual

is empowered.
Marico believes that when you empower people to take decisions independently, to
think and act as entrepreneurs,
they push their own boundaries.

Marico's structure is dynamic & constantly evolving which defines clear roles and
supporting relationships.
At the same time it is also flexible, keeping in mind the fast and ever changing
business environ.

Brands:

Over the past 17 years, Marico has been continually improvising and building new
brands.

Marico's Consumer Products Business houses well-known brands such as Parachute,

Saffola, Sweekar,Hair & Care, Nihar, Shanti, Mediker, Revive, among others, which
occupy leadership positions with significant market shares in most categories- Coconut
Oil, Hair Oils, Post wash hair care, Anti-lice Treatment, Premium Refined Edible Oils,
niche Fabric Care etc.

Every month, over 70 Million consumer packs from Marico reach approximately 130
Million consumers in about 23 Million households, through a widespread distribution
network of more than 2.5 Million outlets in India and overseas.
Uncommon Sense as a Unique Competitive Advantage

Marico believes that its belief in "uncommon sense" and its unique culture differentiates
it from others. Typically Innovation is thought of as a genetic ability, sometimes created
from sparks of genius, and mainly applicable to the invention of new products. To
Marico, Innovation included the challenge of the status quo, adapted wisdom from other
worlds and the creation of something where there was none. These could be a product,
a method or even a shift in paradigm.

We believe that common thinking gets common results and an uncommon

approach to business can bring about radically different results.

We also believe that uncommon sense enables the creation of an organization that
is boundariless in
approach and limitless in sizing and seizing the potential of opportunities all
around. Such an
approach can be sustained with a unique culture of openness, transparency, trust,
empowerment and meritocracy.

Over its history, Harsh's leadership and the powerful experience of invoking innovative
thinking kindled
the imagination of Marico's managers. They signed up for various projects and in the
course of their work with various products and brands, discovered the spin-off benefits
of new thought frames. Here are
some concepts that Marico has used over the years.

Think Big-Bets - Things that one needs badly - putting everything behind it. So
flourish or perish,
here are no escape buttons. Implementation of ERP, Anti Nihar Campaign.

Incubation Cell - a worthy idea needs the right conditions and atmosphere to
germinate. So put intelligence, money and resources behind it for deeper study
and experimentation.

Prototyping - if an idea looks attractive, do several experiments in near-real

conditions. Learn aggressively and perfect the model in the learning lab.

Challenger products - initiatives that set about challenging the status quo and
create 'Fosbury Flips'.

Examples of Uncommon Sense in the Marico Journey

Within 15 years we have transformed ourselves from a small Family owned

business to
a professionally managed set-up that has begun to leave its mark in the
global arena.

We saw an opportunity in consumers lives that allowed us to transform

traditionally commodity categories into brands that consumers love and
cannot live without.

Parachute brought coconut oils out of tins into a consumer friendly packaging.

Saffola brought Heart care to the edible oil category.

From Oils & Cooking to thought-leadership in heartcare.

First blended oil in India; Championed low sodium salt category in India

First mass functional food in India

 Kaya - An example of imaginatively creating a category where none existed before.

First large scale Skin care service in India. Has largest pool of dermatologists under
one roof in Asia. It's entirely owned and managed by Marico.

Pioneering Wellness Services in India.

Revive -changed Rice water starching to cold water starching.

We have thus transited successfully and profitably from basic commodities to

Beauty
and Wellness.

Some other examples of our Non-linear world view and courage to do what
others fear

Pioneering role in Sales automation in India. Midas and Minet systems developed and
deployed by Marico are a case study at Wharton
 Successful at setting up and efficiently running manufacturing set-up in Kerala, a state
which other companies avoid, fearing labor related challenges.

Two quick acquisitions in Egypt in 2006-07, although we were not at all present in
Africa, unlike some other Indian FMCG Players.

Marico acquired the brand Mediker from P&G who did not see much opportunity in
India for this
stagnant brand. Within 7 years of acquiring, Marico had innovated on the product to
triple the
turnover of the brand.Today it dominates the category of anti-lice products with over
95% share .

International Business:
Think IBG = Think BIG

Marico's International Business Group reaches out to more than 20

countries in the Middle East, Asian sub-continent, Australia.

Evolution:

The International Business Group was formed in early 90's to cater mainly to the
demand of
Indians settled abroad. The Business was then small and it has over the years
assumed increasing proportions with a phenomenal topline growth rate of more than
30%. Initially Marico exported only Parachute Coconut Oil. Now it caters to varying
needs of customers in different countries with a host
of varied offerings.

Customising for local needs:

To cater to customers who belong to diverse cultures and consumer habits the
International Business Group has been customizing its products. For example, it offers
perfumed oils to consumers
in Bangladesh and Hair Creams and Hair Oils (with lower coconut oil content) to Arabs
in the Gulf.
Market shares of Marico's brands overseas have been rising. Parachute Coconut Oil is
the market leader
in Bangladesh with almost half the market share while other hair oils and hair care
products have been consolidating their share of the market. Hair Cream in Gulf is
increasingly growing into a big brand.

IBG over the years - IBG Turnover in INR Million

IBG contribution up from 10% to 16% of total turnover.
